The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) is standing firmly with its member countries that have been impacted by Hurricane Irma.

The Bank has disbursed a grant of EC$1 million each to the Governments of Anguilla and Antigua and Barbuda to support relief and early recovery.

A delegation from the ECCB visited Anguilla on September 13 in solidarity and support.

The delegation, which included the ECCB Monetary Council Member for St. Kitts and Nevis, Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris and Governor Timothy N. J. Antoine, met with Chief Minister of Anguilla, Victor Banks and other senior government officials and toured the country to obtain a first-hand account of the impact of Hurricane Irma.
